Public bug reported:
Fresh install of Precise on an Intel box that had oneiric installed
previously. I left '3rd party sources' checked, completed the install,
rebooted, and found myself at the console rather than in a graphical
session.
Logging into the console and poking around, it appears dkms failed to
build the nvidia drivers for some reason. I rebooted in case it was
just a race condition, but got the same failure, then filed this bug
report from the console.
make.txt just says:
*** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***
So presumably the nvidia driver never got built.
